Does this need to be removed to put onto the dock or keyboard?

Yes, the cover needs to be removed prior to charging it on the docking station, or using it on the docking station with the keyboard. You can also use the propped case/cover with the keyboard up close to it.

Unfortunately you have to take it off to put it on the dock but the way I see it is for spending less than $5 it's okay. Hope this helps.

Yes. You need to disable the mouse driver in the device manager. Be sure to have only the track pad installed because windows 8 lists all of the mouse drivers in the same area and with the same name. The keyboard dock uses generic mouse and keyboard drivers. Disabling the mouse driver only will not effect the rest of the dock.

For the keyboard, is not necessary to remove it, but it is for the magic trackpad, is very easy though.

When I was using it, I did not have any issues with regards to the keyboard dock. The protector remained in place without issue and did not impede docking functionality.

On screen keyboard has nothing to do with this. I'm sure if you do not open it then it will not appear on the screen. By the on which device you are going to use.

My guess is not, since they specifically say not to use it in the dock instructions. If you need more ports, buy a USB hub. I bought a powered hub for use when I am not using the port as the tablet USB is unpowered.

The keyboard is integrated into the case itself. It is not removable from the case.

Read in a forum that the higher priced version ($1300 or something?) might have the dock & keyboard included. However, this is just speculation.

For docking you need to take case off. Can you a charging cord without removing case.

Hi Mindy, I bought a new case for my tablet/mobile dock, but it did have the capability to accomodate the keyboard.

The docking station is not needed for using the tablet. The tablet comes with a soft keyboard built in, a charger, and a thin hard keyboard which is part of the protective jacket. Personally I don't use the docking station period. The jacket's keyboard has a grove across the entire keyboard width for the tablet to rest in, just like any tablet in the market. For more USB ports, I use a 4-port USB 3.0 hub for better portability than the docking station.

Yes, you have to remove the phone from the case to place it in the dock. I prefered the soft rubber case which came off easily, but if you use a hard case that is timely to remove, you may want to reconsider the dock.

Yes. You just bend it in an upwardly direction and it clicks right out of the keyboard. To put it back, you just slide it in.
